"Serves to remind young readers that the happiness and fulfillment we seek can often be found within. . . . A strong pick for Spanish-language storytimes." --Booklist Conoce a una niña quien le encanta estar en su hogar, que huele a té de canela y se siente como un pijama calientito. Pero todo es diferente cuando se va de paseo. Aún así, encuentra la manera de sentirse tranquila. Al llegar la oscuridad de la noche sus pies se enfrían y su habitación a veces le da miedo. Es entonces cuando la niña cierra los ojos y crea su propia luz al pensar en el sol. Con simpatía y calidez, la autora e ilustrador Juliana Perdomo enseña a los jóvenes lectores diferentes maneras de encontrar consuelo y confiar en sí mismos. Este afectuoso libro ilustrado invita a los niños a creer que, a veces, todo lo que necesitamos--valentía, felicidad, paz y amor--ya está en nosotros mismos.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
The boldly colored pages deliver adorable illustrations showcasing the imagination of a child who is loved and content to be with people or just playing on her own, all in a folk-art style with inspiration from the author's home country of Colombia. It's also poignant for the times, considering how isolated many children have been recently. . . serves to remind young readers that the happiness and fulfillment we seek can often be found within. . . a strong pick for Spanish-language storytimes.
